Tuesday 3rd May was the first session of the inaugural Taunton Chess Club Rapid Tournament. The tournament is being played over two weeks, with the final night on the 10th May.
It was really encouraging to see so many players even if not all were fully enjoying the time limit of 15 minutes for each player. There was plenty of room for blunders and missed opportunities with some players excelling.
-
- Heads down.
-
- What is the best advantage in a rapid game? A youthful quick brain or years of studying strategies.
-
- Lots of concentration.
-
- One of our promising junior players, Frey, always gives a challenging game.
-
- Great to see so many taking part.
-
- Chris did a great job of organising the event, it even had David standing to attention.
Make sure you come to the club on Tuesday 10th May for the deciding 4 rounds.
There will be prizes!
A big thank you to Chris Greenaway for organising the tournament.
